About the Provider
The Pre-School at Temple Emanuel offers educational programs designed to meet the developmental needs of the whole child in a warm and nurturing environment. Our philosophy is based on a comprehensive theory of child development, which recognizes the equal importance of cognitive, social, emotional and physical growth of the well being of the young child. Collectively we emphasize an experience rich in Jewish culture, tradition and values.
Children need to successfully separate from home and transfer trust from family to school. Beginning with the first moment of separation and experience in the world outside the home, we attempt to provide a secure child-centered "second home" to foster self-confidence and self-esteem.
Our curriculum is based on the concept that young children learn best by active exploration. This is accomplished through music, movement and art. Therefore, curriculum is partly determined by the child's own interests. Teachers initiate activities and assist children to expand their information and interact with peers and adults.
Each child is seen as an individual in order to enhance his/her sense of self worth. Our school provides the child with an opportunity to investigate a wide variety of educational materials to encourage a climate for growth.
